Jesus is salvation

Editor: There has been much talk in recent years about boards of commissioners, city councils and other government groups opening up their meetings not only with prayer but ending that prayer in Jesus' name. People are so easily offended and usually when a prayer ends in Jesus' name, someone in the crowd gets offended and contacts the ACLU. The ACLU is an evil organization that hates God and anything to do with God. That's why they are so quick to file lawsuits against anyone that prays in Jesus' name but they are silent when someone boosts another religion. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Jesus is not a religion. Jesus is salvation. In other words, Jesus is the only way to heaven. The bible says in Psalms 119:165,"Great peace have they who love thy law: and nothing shall offend them." The reason that these other religious groups are so easily offended is because they don't love the law of God. The reason Christians pray in Jesus' name is because in John 14:6 Jesus said, "... I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." God is the only one who can hear and answer prayer. I want to praise the Rowan County commissioners for taking a stand in the face of the lawsuit filed by the ACLU on behalf of someone who got offended when they heard the name of Jesus. They said they were going to pray in Jesus' name in spite of the lawsuit and I thank them for doing that. I wish more politicians would take a stand for the Lord like that. If they did, we just might see some improvements in the way things are going in this land. I'll tell what needs to happen. They need to start having these meetings in private and not let the public attend any of them. That way they could have a prayer meeting if they wanted to and nobody could say anything. I am going to keep believing the bible, believing in Jesus, believing in God, and believing that He's coming again to snatch the Christians out of this world.
